1 # The word <01697> which came unto Jeremiah <03414> from the LORD <03068>, when king <04428> Zedekiah <06667> sent <07971> (8800) unto him Pashur <06583> the son <01121> of Melchiah <04441>, and Zephaniah <06846> the son <01121> of Maaseiah <04641> the priest <03548>, saying <0559> (8800),
2 Enquire <01875> (8798), I pray thee, of the LORD <03068> for us <01157>; for Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894> maketh war <03898> (8737) against us; if so be that the LORD <03068> will deal <06213> (8799) with us according to all his wondrous works <06381> (8737), that he may go up <05927> (8799) from us.
3 Then said <0559> (8799) Jeremiah <03414> unto them, Thus shall ye say <0559> (8799) to Zedekiah <06667>:
4 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>; Behold, I will turn back <05437> (8688) the weapons <03627> of war <04421> that are in your hands <03027>, wherewith ye fight <03898> (8737) against the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, and against the Chaldeans <03778>, which besiege <06696> (8802) you without <02351> the walls <02346>, and I will assemble <0622> (8804) them into the midst <08432> of this city <05892>.
5 And I myself will fight <03898> (8738) against you with an outstretched <05186> (8803) hand <03027> and with a strong <02389> arm <02220>, even in anger <0639>, and in fury <02534>, and in great <01419> wrath <07110>.
6 And I will smite <05221> (8689) the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of this city <05892>, both man <0120> and beast <0929>: they shall die <04191> (8799) of a great <01419> pestilence <01698>.
7 And afterward <0310>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, I will deliver <05414> (8799) Zedekiah <06667> king <04428> of Judah <03063>, and his servants <05650>, and the people <05971>, and such as are left <07604> (8737) in this city <05892> from the pestilence <01698>, from the sword <02719>, and from the famine <07458>, into the hand <03027> of Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, and into the hand <03027> of their enemies <0341> (8802), and into the hand <03027> of those that seek <01245> (8764) their life <05315>: and he shall smite <05221> (8689) them with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>; he shall not spare <02347> (8799) them, neither have pity <02550> (8799), nor have mercy <07355> (8762).
8 # And unto this people <05971> thou shalt say <0559> (8799), Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> ; Behold, I set <05414> (8802) before <06440> you the way <01870> of life <02416>, and the way <01870> of death <04194> .
9 He that abideth <03427> (8802) in this city <05892> shall die <04191> (8799) by the sword <02719> , and by the famine <07458>, and by the pestilence <01698>: but he that goeth out <03318> (8802), and falleth <05307> (8804) to the Chaldeans <03778> that besiege <06696> (8802) you, he shall live <02421> (8804) (8675) <02421> (8799) , and his life <05315> shall be unto him for a prey <07998>.
10 For I have set <07760> (8804) my face <06440> against this city <05892> for evil <07451>, and not for good <02896>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>: it shall be given <05414> (8735) into the hand <03027> of the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, and he shall burn <08313> (8804) it with fire <0784>.
11 And touching the house <01004> of the king <04428> of Judah <03063>, say, Hear <08085> (8798) ye the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>;
12 O house <01004> of David <01732>, thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; Execute <01777> (8798) judgment <04941> in the morning <01242>, and deliver <05337> (8685) him that is spoiled <01497> (8803) out of the hand <03027> of the oppressor <06231> (8802), lest my fury <02534> go out <03318> (8799) like fire <0784> , and burn <01197> (8804) that none can quench <03518> (8764) it, because <06440> of the evil <07455> of your doings <04611>.
13 Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant <03427> (8802) of the valley <06010>, and rock <06697> of the plain <04334>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>; which say <0559> (8802), Who shall come down <05181> (8799) against us? or who shall enter <0935> (8799) into our habitations <04585>?
14 But I will punish <06485> (8804) you according to the fruit <06529> of your doings <04611>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>: and I will kindle <03341> (8689) a fire <0784> in the forest <03293> thereof, and it shall devour <0398> (8804) all things round about <05439> it.
